What's your take on racism, which is what 'cancel culture' in this instance is being applied as a response? Just look at what's happening around this country. For example, we get people who have been fired for saying "All Lives Matter". How on God's green earth is this a fireable offense in the REAL world? I can list many other examples, but I don't have the time or patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First they cancel slavery! Then they cancel women's inability to vote! Now they want to cancel racist derogatory terms from the world of pro sports! What's next? Puppies indeed! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins name has been around forever and the Native Americans never had a problem with that name. Don't worry, Snyder will eventually cave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I suggest you invest a bit of your time and patience to realize that 'All Lives Matter' is in response to and created in opposition of 'Black Lives Matter' as a general principle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never heard someone say “all lives matter” in response to Blue Lives Matter statements. Somehow it’s only a response to Black Lives Matter. I wonder why that is.

WhoTom Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 2 minutes ago, njbuff said: Only black lives matter then. Ok, got it. If the people who respond to "Black Lives Matter" by saying "All Lives Matter" really believed that all lives matter, then they'd be outraged by the police brutality against black people. If your house is burning down, you call the fire department and ask for help. Imagine if they responded with "all houses matter." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 24 minutes ago, Nextmanup said: It's not about "Indian names." It's about the derogatory term "Redskins" used for Native Americans. I'm pretty sure it's the only Indian reference in the world of sports that creates this problem. I've read and listened to several Native American speakers on the topic and the only nickname they were concerned with was "Redskins." Again, I do 't know....for the tenth time in this thread, if you don't think the cancel culture is not going after other Indian themed teams, you haven't been paying attention the last month. I'm not saying they will succeed but you can bet your ass those teams are in deck. Watch the Blackhawks logo be under attack by this time next week.

WhoTom Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Sports fans who want to keep their team name because of history: "It's the name of a team. Why don't those people just get over it?" Minorities whose culture and heritage have been usurped by sports mascots: "Have you considered taking your own advice on that?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
